Panthers forward Viliame Kikau has been suspended for two matches after being found guilty of a grade one shoulder charge at an NRL Judiciary hearing on Tuesday night.

Kikau’s legal counsel argued the tackle on Dragons playmaker Darren Nicholls did not meet the necessary criteria to classify as a shoulder charge.

However, the NRL judiciary panel of former players Mal Cochrane, Sean Garlick and Dallas Johnson disagreed and found Kikau guilty.
